- Autumn sowings (Sept–Nov): Sow 2 cm deep into the flowering site; you can also sow into modules or deep pots to over‑winter in a cold frame.

Care
Sweet peas benefit from regular watering and a sunny, sheltered position. Pinching out growing tips when plants reach around 15cm (6in) encourages branching and more flowers. Pick blooms frequently, this not only rewards you with fragrant stems but also encourages fresh flowering into late season.
